usually there is a round collar that hold the fixturetothe ceiling unscrew the collar and let the fixture hang there should be three wires a white red or black and a green just reverse the procedure its easier with two people and if there are two different switch's to turn on fixture then shut the power off at the breaker if only one switch then shut of at the lite switch

well first off there has to be a way to unscrew the damn thing, or it has to be twisted into the ceiling or something since it didnt magicly inplant itself, maybe the screws are covered with little screw covers so check for that... second off, pay attention to the colors of the wires when you take the old one down, and hook up the right colors to the same way with the new one, MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY before you do this or you will have a nice shock. good luck..

most apartment complexes employ maintenance employees and will do this for you

Ask the landlord. He may not want you to, or he may do it for you.
